"I'm sorry, Dia. I've been at the police station for the past two days. I didn't pay for my room and had no place to stay. I finally found one in the afternoon, but I fell asleep because I was too tired. I missed going to cheer you up. I'm so sorry."
Meng Lu thought he wouldn't check his phone right away, so he planned to switch the app to watch a video for a while, when the call came.
She glanced at Adrian who was working hard, and thought that speaking quietly would not disturb him, so she answered the phone.
Diya's voice was anxious. "Meng Lu, I should be the one to apologize. I was inconsiderate. So, if you return the house over there, I have another house outside that's vacant. I won't charge you for it."
The last sentence was because he was afraid that it would be too abrupt to suddenly say that he was living in his house, so he made it as a joke.
"It's okay, I've found a place, don't worry."
Adrien looked up at her, curious about who she was talking to on the phone.
"It wasn't long after the exam. I saw you've been studying constantly these past two days. You must not have gotten enough rest. Go get some rest!"
Seeing that he was still so concerned about the other person, Adrian lost his mood to work seriously and guessed that the other person was most likely a man.
"Okay, you can come to me if you need anything here. Although my ability is limited, it would be better to have one more person to help."
"Okay, I see. You should get some rest early."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Lu glanced at the person next to him. Fortunately, the person was working hard and did not disturb him.
Ten minutes passed, Meng Lu was lying on the sofa playing games happily, but someone was in a bad mood.
Adrian sorted the documents and put them in the drawer. He had a headache and lost his patience, so he decided to go home!
When Meng Lu was playing at the critical moment, a person suddenly appeared beside him. He was startled. Because of a few seconds of distraction, the character he was playing died. He became unhappy instantly.
"You walk without making any sound? It's all your fault. You scared me and caused me to lose the whole game."
Adrian just found it a little funny. What kind of excuse was that? "Okay, I'll take responsibility. Let's go, I'll take you to eat something delicious."
"What's delicious?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Meng Qi was unwilling to give up and kept chasing him to ask, this man was relying on his long legs and fast walking speed to not wait for her, he must be showing off his long legs.
After leaving the office building, I felt much better. My ears were quiet for five seconds, and then the chattering sounds came back.
"Hey, wait for me, are you bullying me just because you have longer legs?"
"Okay, okay, it's late at night and there are people living nearby. If someone has a bad temper, they might curse at you."
Indeed, it was completely dark, and Meng Lu didn't want to disturb others, so he lowered his voice.
"Then I'll curse back at him."
Adrian smiled, feeling extremely safe as he walked in front with his nearly two-meter-tall body.
"Get in the car."
A car parked nearby turned on its lights and then sped down the road.
The road was very quiet at night. It was close to the mayor's office building and was controlled by vehicles and flying cars, but after leaving this road, there were a few more cars on the road.
The car stopped in front of a barbecue restaurant. Meng Lu leaned against the window and exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many people here!"
"Normal, nocturnal orcs, prefer night to day, get off the bus!"
Meng Lu followed him out of the car and came to the front desk. He was shocked when he heard his order.
"Two roasted what?"
Adrian turned around and looked at her in surprise, "Sheep! Don't you like it? We also have roasted pig, roasted rabbit, roasted beef..."
"Stop, can we each get a whole sheep?" Meng Lu really thought that he might have misunderstood, and perhaps it was just a part of the sheep.
When I saw him nod, I was petrified instantly. Who could eat this?
She knew orcs had big appetites, but she had never seen one this big.
"It's okay if you can't finish it, I can help you." After Adrien confirmed a better order, he took her to the private room.
Meng Lu sat in the chair for a long time, unable to come back to his senses, and was finally awakened by the other party's snap of fingers.
"What's wrong? You've been distracted since you came in."
"No, I'm wondering what your beast form is. Is this... okay to ask? If you think this involves privacy, you don't have to answer."
"Bear, I am from the black bear tribe."
A bear? With its massive size, it was no wonder it ate a whole sheep. Meng Lu was not surprised.
But I was still shocked when the waiter brought in two sheep.
Two whole lambs were placed on the dining table. She couldn't even see Adrian's head, and she didn't know where to start with the fork.
"Don't worry about eating. If you can't finish it, I can help you finish it."
Meng Qi cut off some lean meat and said, "Okay, help me finish the rest!"
“OK.”
"By the way, do you usually eat this much?" She was really curious. Three meals a day means eating three sheep a day.
"I had two buns for breakfast, but didn't have time to eat lunch. I was busy until the early morning, so I drove here to eat lamb. The boss and I are very familiar with each other, so I don't need to tell him on weekdays. But since I brought you this time, I still have to tell him how many sheep I want."
"Okay, I have a small stomach and can't eat so much. Thanks for sharing your worries."
Adrian ate very quickly. He had eaten almost the entire sheep in half an hour, leaving only the skeleton. Then he started eating Meng Lu's.
However, Meng Lu only ate a few pieces of meat from his plate, and the taste was a bit strong, so he had to eat slowly. He finished the whole plate before he finished it. What a great appetite he had.
——
Meng Lu frowned again and again during the meal. He really admired the other party, and then took a car to his house.
But when the car stopped in front of a shabby residential complex, she thought he was here to do something, until Adrian took out a bunch of keys, turned the lock, and walked to the entrance to change his shoes, then she realized...
"Is this your home?"
"certainly."
Meng Yu couldn't believe it. "No, the car you park in the underground garage is so nice, but the place you live is so shabby. The contrast is too big!"
Adrian shrugged. "I come from a humble background, and my family can't offer me much support. I'm lucky to be able to work at the Mayor's Building. But I still want to thank you for the recommendation, otherwise I would never have become mayor in my lifetime. As for this car, it was issued by the higher-ups, so I won't be looked down upon by the public."
Meng Qi leaned close to him and asked quietly, "Aren't you a little greedy?"
"How is that possible? I swore to be an honest official. How could I possibly be corrupt? Please don't insult my dignity."
Seeing his emotional fluctuations, Meng Lu praised him repeatedly, "Good, very good. I promoted you because I admire your character."
"Personality? I don't think we knew each other before you promoted me."
"Well...anyway, I admire you."
The other person suddenly turned around, and Meng Lu had no time to stop and was caught off guard and bumped into his arms.
"So what you admire is my... looks?"
"You want to sleep with me?"
With a loud bang, Meng Lu didn't expect this person to speak so bluntly. Besides, she didn't have such an intention!
